Because Jon Bon Jovi's Soul Foundation focuses on “combating issues that force families and individuals into economic despair”, our campaign focuses on highlighting the economic aspects of Israel's apartheid regime. Just yesterday, several Palestinians fishing boats have been attacked by Israeli navy fire close to the shore in the Sudaniyya Sea, northwest of Gaza City. The boats were only four nautical miles away from the shore, and that the fishers had to sail back fearing additional Israeli violence and escalation. The navy frequently attacks Gaza fishers and their boats in the coastal region, preventing them from gaining some income to support their families. Such attacks have led to dozens of casualties, including fatalities, in addition to significant property damage, while many fishers have been kidnapped before their boats were towed to Israeli shores. We hope to illustrate to Jon and the rest of the band, the economic policies which their concert will serve to whitewash, so that they may reconsider this performance- in light of Palestinian civil society call for international solidarity- to boycott Israel. We also hope to encourage you to sign and share the petition with your family, friends, and networks.
